EJ Olsen A cute, heartfelt look into the Ringhofer family’s life, I Don’t Have a Bib is a true gift and a warm hug of an album. Favorite track: Just A Little Bit Of Pizza.

Laura-Marie River Victor Nopales Moving, beautiful, fun super-short songs about family life. Don't miss the yogurt song, or Going Pee Pee Is So Fun. I don't know how you can fit so much love into the question, Who needs a bath? But it's sweet and kind. Favorite track: Who Needs A Bath?.

about

This was a Ringhofer Family summer project.

In June, July, & August 2018, my sons (ages 3 & 5) and I recorded most of the songs we've written spontaneously over the past few years: kid stuff, living abroad, routines, Finnish holidays, domestic life, field recordings, foods, a lullaby. We've been singing these songs around the house nearly every day for years.
